any known issue with microsoft dns delegating to f5 GTM?

Does anyone know of any known issue with Microsoft DNS delegating some records to F5 GTM?

 

I have some delegation that suddenly fails, but if you query F5 GTM directly, it works just fine. Any tips or advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks.

  • No issues that I'm aware of, and we do this in our environment.

     

    When the queries are failing, is an answer not coming back from AD directing you to GTM, or is it GTM that's failing to respond? I would guess the former, which indicates an AD or possible network problem.

     

  • AD is failing to resolve from DNS the delegation that's clearly pointed towards GTM. Unfortunately, not sure why that is since the GTM host record on DNS is on the same domain.

     

  • For the domains that have been delegated to GTM, AD should be handing back NS records to the requesting client that correspond to the GTM listener IP address. If this isn't happening, then it's not a GTM issue.

     

    AD can be a strange beast if it's being heavily utilized.
